About Anamata

Anamata is a Private Training Establishment located in the Ruatoki Valley, Eastern Bay of Plenty. It traces its origins to the early 1980s, when it began as part of the Department of Labour's work skills development programme, operating from the Rūātoki School grounds under the management of Tāmati Kruger. Initial courses included music, motor repairs, bone carving, and screen printing. Following the introduction of NZQA registration requirements in 1989, the organisation was reconstituted in 1993 as Te Pū Wānanga ō Anamata, expanding its curriculum to include te reo Māori, farming skills, and computing. In June 2022, Anamata relocated back to the Ruatoki Valley, where the organisation first began.

Anamata structures its teaching and learning from a Tūhoe perspective, using Tūhoe tikanga and reo as its foundational framework. Its stated mission centres on developing Tūhoe cultural literacy and supporting the wellbeing of iwi, hapū, and whānau. The organisation works with Tribal Authorities and Te Uru Taumatua to shape its core programmes in te reo and social wellbeing. A high proportion of its student roll is Māori.
